Aibu to think 9pm is too late to be ringing someone's doorbell?

[Whisky2014]

I was in bed, husband downstairs but I didn't hear him get it. I waited too long and the person left. Husband had called asleep on sofa.
But who rings a doorbell at 9pm?! I'm pregnant and tired argh. We live in a small village!

Up to 10pm is reasonable if you know the household

The evenings are tricky, though - earlier, and many people will be eating, or putting small children to bed, or other things that would make it awkward to answer the door.

But I do laugh at the MN thing of never ever being supposed to ring a door bell (what are they for, then??), or pop round to see someone without an appointment booked in advance

It's unreasonable to me after 7pm

if say you'd left your lights on in a car or something like that you wouldn't mind at all someone calling at 9 would you? collecting for charity's etc I wouldn't mind, but I'm more a night owl, 9 just isn't late for me but certainly I know my neighbour with two young kids would be outraged if anyone called that late- I did once with a parcel she hadn't picked up, worst thing was I deliberately left it till after 8.30 as I thought nothing worse than disturbing bath, bed stories etc. as it wasn't important I just rang once had she not answered then id have walked away to come back another time, maybe that what happened here.

It would ba a shame if it was someone knocking to say someone has bumped into your car or your roof is on fire.

And here we are today with car batteries intact and house intact:)

Phew!

Til the next time...

Meh 9pm doesn't bother me.

But may do when/if I was pregnant so YANBU lol
